High Performance, Fully Networkable GPS Chartplotter

Easy to operate, the Garmin GPSMAP 7608 adds “pinch to zoom” technology to an 8” hi visibility color multi function display that can be used as a standalone Chartplotter, added to an existing marine navigation system or the start to a new marine system setup.

The 8” WSVGA screen of the GPSMAP 7608 Chartplotter is multi-touch allowing the user full control of operation and function at the touch of a finger. An internal 10 Hz GPS/GLONASS receiver provides fluid movement on the screen of the GPSMAP 7608 because it updates position data 10 times per second. If you are a sailor and looking for a plotter to provide you with sailing features like: laylines, enhanced wind rose, heading and course-over-ground lines, true wind data fields and tide/current/time slider, look no further the GPSMAP 7608 will provide this information for you. In addition the GPSMAP 7608 is designed to interface with Garmin’s gWind, gWind Wireless and gWind Race transducers through the GND 10 Black Box Bridge.

Not a sailor, not a problem; Garmin’s GSD premium sonar modules and their GCV side and down scanning modules are also compatible with the GPSMAP 7608, with the addition of any of these modules, and compatible transducer, you now have outstanding fishfinding capability. The GPSMAP 7608 will also accept any of the GMR radars including the new xHD2 arrays. Additional sensors and features can be added to the GPSMAP 7608 through NMEA 2000 like autopilot, smart sensors or GXM 53 for Sirius satellite weather and music.

Adding to the capability of the GPSMAP 7400, 7600, and 8000 series these plotters can control and stream video from the VIRB X/XE camera. You can now connect up to 5 VIRB X/XE cameras at one time. The screen of the chartplotter can be split to view up to four of the cameras at once, while each camera can be named for easy identification. Not only can you stream video but you actually gain control of each camera and its functions. G-Metrix data can be sent through a NMEA 2000 network and overlaid on the screen using the VIRB X/XE camera. Record video or take snapshots using your VIRB X/XE and with the Garmin Helm App you can save, share and view on the screen of your marine device. You can also control power, volume/mute, audio controls, source and more with compatible Polk, Rockford Fosgate and JL Audio systems through NMEA 2000.

For the captain who does not want to have to stay at one helm, and doesn’t want to add a another permanent display; the GPSMAP 7608 has built in WiFi/ANT for use with Garmin Helm and App that can be downloaded to give you the ability to view and control your GPSMAP 7608 from an iPhone® or iPad, or a phone or tablet using Android. You can also plan and view routes on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod with BlueChart Mobile and then transfer them to the GPSMAP 7608 without the aid of Garmin’s Wifi adapter Kit.

Garmin has improved the functionality of this unit since its release through Software Updates adding Chart and Weather Layers Simplification with the Layers menu. Switching between layers and adding multiple layers is quick and intuitive. ‘On Screen Controls’ also allow for improved ease of use. No more searching for the controls for commonly adjusted items as they will now remain present on the screen. Create ‘Smart Boundaries’ and assign them with appropriate SmartModes. Your display will switch to the appropriate screen when entering a Smart Boundary. Entering a docking area? Designate it at as a boundary and your screen will instantly switch to a Docking screen as soon as your vessel enters the territory you assigned. FLIR Camera Support is another feature enabled with by updating your software. All next generation M-series models and new digital models are supported with continuous zoom support and gyro stabilization control. Need to give your MFD a rest? Expanded Sleep Mode will enable the user to turn off the backlight and sonar transmissions and can also place a networked autopilot into standby. This feature will not work if a networked unit is requiring sonar from that unit. As you can see, Garmin is continually developing new ways to support and improve their existing product line. Software updates are quick, simple and free of charge.

This unit can now display Yamaha’s Certified Gauge Page as a result of the Garmin February software update. The GAX12770 cable is required to connect the unit to the Yamaha bus in order to use this new feature.

If you navigate in fresh water or saltwater; whether you are a sailor, fisherman, or cruiser captain the GPSMAP 7608 may well be the option for a chartplotter that best suits you needs today and later.
